Title: An impinging apparatus for a hardened nail
Inventor: LIN MING HSIN
IPC: B25C1/02
Filed: 1983-07-29
Abstract: An impinging apparatus for a hardened nail (4) comprises a nail clamping member (1), a tubular member (2) and a solid cylindrical member (3). The clamping member (1) is an elastomeric truncate cone which has an axial through center hole (1C) and a longitudinal through groove (1d) from its axial hole (1c) radially outward to its an axial outer surface. The tubular member (2) can slidably receive the cylindrical member (3) at one end and has the other end to taperingly engage with the truncate cone (1). The cylindrical member (3) has a semispherical cave (3a) at one end to engage a head of a hardened nail (4) and an enlarged impact head (3b) on the other end for easily hammering. An apparatus with such structure can act as a fast and safe device to impinge a hardened nail. <IMAGE>

Title: Switch point for a monorail overhead conveyor
Inventor: KERCKHOFF WILHELM
IPC: E01B25/26
Filed: 1983-11-30
Abstract: The switch point comprises a slide (7) displaceable in a guide (2) essentially transversely to the running direction and carrying a straight rail piece (24) for connecting fixed rails (18,19) is a first position of the slide and a curved rail piece (25) for connecting fixed rails (18,20) in a second position of the slide. The slide (7) can be turned about its longitudinal central axis and inserted into the guide (2) in two alternative positions Fig. 4, Fig 5 differing 180 DEG  from one another. It is therefore possible using the same fastening points (38,39; 40,41) for the rail pieces (24) (25) and appropriately turning the curved rail piece (25) to produce a right-hand or left-hand switch point. The rail pieces (24,25) are mounted on the slide (7) by means of C-shaped brackets turnable to engage either side of the web of a rail piece so that direction of travel through the point can be altered. <IMAGE>

Title: Fuel-injection pump for i.c. engines
Inventor: HOFKEN WILFRED
IPC: F02M59/20
Filed: 1983-12-09
Abstract: The start of injection of a fuel- injection pump is continuously varied by controlling a rapidly closing valve (20) disposed in an outlet or relief bore (16) leading from the pump chamber (12). The closing body (23) of the valve is maintained in its open rest position by an interlock means such as an electromagnet (30) and after release of this interlock means is rapidly moved into its closed operating position by the pressure of the discharging fuel. In this operating position the discharge of fuel through the outlet bore (16) is stopped and delivery past a valve (13) into a fuel injection pipe (14) starts. <IMAGE>
Patent GB-2136182-A (GB)
Title: Asynchronous Type Multichannel Signal Processing System
Inventor: INOUE HIROMITSU
IPC: H04L27/26
Filed: 1984-04-05
Abstract: In an asynchronous transmission system, a transmitter sends a series of frequencies (each having one of four values), repeated with gaps between repetitions, and consisting of address and/or control data. A receiver has a filter for each possible frequency and samples their outputs m times during each frequency burst, in a detection interval somewhat longer than the burst. One (or preferably two or more) of these sets of samples must hold the receiver's address for the receiver to be selected (in an addressed system), and a majority vote (2 out of 3, with m equal to 3) applies for control data.

Title: Apparatus for generating ozone
Inventor: WAINWRIGHT BASIL EARLE
IPC: C01B13/11
Filed: 1986-09-12
Abstract: Apparatus for generating ozone comprises a housing containing an anode and a cathode. A separate container encloses a d.c. generator and amplifier for generating direct current for application to the anode and cathode such that ozone is generated in proportion to an input flow of gas fed to the housing. A voltage proportional to the input flow is supplied to a comparator 86 as a reference for comparison with the output voltage measured by resistors 106, 108. The comparator output controls a transistor 90 which determines the voltage level at a saturable transformer 52 switched by an oscillator 46. The transformer output is rectified and multiplied to provide a voltage which is used to generate ozone in the required proportion. <IMAGE>

Title: Torsional vibration damper
Inventor: HARTIG FRANZ
IPC: F16F15/123
Filed: 1986-10-10
Abstract: The invention relates to the simplified production of an idling system in a torsional vibration damper. The basis is adopted of a torsional vibration damper in which the hub disc 5 of the under-load system engages, with play in the circumferential direction, with a toothing 4 in the hub 2. The improvement is to be seen in that the toothing 4 of the hub 2 is made lengthened in the axial direction and in the region beside the hub disc 5 of the under-load system the toothing is used directly for the actuation of the torsion springs 12 of the idling system 11, or a separate hub disc 17 with a corresponding internal toothing is set without play in the circumferential direction upon the prolonged toothing of the hub. <IMAGE>

Abstract: PCT No. PCT/GB87/00335 Sec. 371 Date Mar. 18, 1988 Sec. 102(e) Date Mar. 18, 1988 PCT Filed May 15, 1987 PCT Pub. No. WO87/07322 PCT Pub. Date Dec. 3, 1987.Apparatus for enlarging or removing irregularities in an underground duct comprises first and second expandable segmented nose and intermediate shell portions (10,20) each comprising a respective set of shell parts (14,18) arranged around a longitudinal axis (16). The shell parts (14) of the nose portion (10) are pivotally connected to a nose cone (12) and to the front ends of the shell parts (18), while the shell parts (18) are pivotally connected at their rear ends to a rear pivot assembly (22). Expansion of the duct is achieved by repeatedly driving the joints between the shell parts (14) of the nose portion (10) and the shell parts (18) of the intermediate portion (20) outwards so as to force the wall of the duct outwards, returning the shell parts (14,18) to a contracted configuration, and moving the apparatus forward in the duct. Ingress of loose particles of material from the duct wall into the apparatus is reduced by arranging for the shell parts (14,18) of each portion to be overlapping, each shell part having a recessed border surface (34,64) over which the edge of a neighboring shell part slides.

Title: Continuous wave radar receiver and apparatus
Inventor: STOVE ANDREW GERALD
IPC: G01S7/35
Filed: 1988-05-04
Abstract: A continuous wave radar, particularly a frequency modulated continuous wave radar (FMCW), in which a radar return signal (fr) is frequency down-converted to form a beat frequency (fb) using the transmitter signal which is currently being transmitted. High amplitude spurious interfering signals are eliminated from the beat frequency signal by passing the beat frequency(fb) through a band pass filter (38). The filtered signal is linearly amplified in a limiting amplifier (42) which clips the high amplitude spurious signals at a level greater than the maximum anticipated return signal. The high amplitude spurious signals are detected using a comparator (44) and are used to provide a control signal for actuating a normally closed switch (52) of a sample and hold circuit (50) or of a blanking circuit to eliminate the high amplitude spurious signals present at the switch 52. The signal is thereafter low pass filtered (60) and the resulting signal is digitised and applied to a Fast Fourier Transformer (not shown) for frequency analysis. <IMAGE>
